The /etc/init.d/asterisk is starting /.../asterisk instead of safe_asterisk (the script). "rcasterisk start" somehow runs under user=asterisk. how can I change it to run under user=root (I know the arguments not to do this). safe_asterisk runs under user=root (or whoever was used to start it). When I modified /etc/init.d/asterisk to start safe_asterisk, it fails on authorization to /dev/tty9 and gets into a loop (the script tries to restart when it fails). does anybody have some recommendations? solutions?
